The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chu Chengxiong was stunned on the spot. What did cutting bamboo have to do with strong liquor? The key point was that this was the bamboo yard raised by his sixth brother, and he had raised it for several years. If it was cut down, his sixth brother would definitely pick up a knife and chop him.

"I cut the bamboo to make wine. It's okay if you don't want to cut it. Then don't blame me for the liquor I promised you!"

Jiang Fan spread his hands when he heard this. His expression at this moment looked like that of the wolf who was deceiving the little white rabbit.

When Chu Chengxiong heard that it was about brewing strong liquor, he hesitated. He had been tempted by Jiang Fan's words about how delicious the strong liquor was.

The liquor is right in front of you, and you would be very anxious if you couldn't drink it.

"Don't fool me... otherwise, even if we are brothers, I won't give you face..." Chu Chengxiong looked at Jiang Fan, wanting to confirm again. He always felt that he was going to be tricked by Jiang Fan again, and he was a little scared!

"Xiao Qi, why are you so slow? Or are you scared? Just tell me whether you want to chop or not. Don't blame me for not helping you. Do you still want to get past your old man?" Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at Chu Chengxiong with a look of contempt on his face.

His expression immediately hurt Chu Chengxiong. He was the tyrant of Beijing, was there anything he dared not do? Jiang Fan obviously despised him for being cowardly.

"Cut it if you want... I'm not afraid of anything... Anyway, you'll take the blame with me..." Chu Chengxiong's face was full of determination, and he took out a dagger from his body and struck him several times.

Jiang Fan chopped down all the bamboos he pointed at. As expected of an expert, he chopped the bamboos with the short blade in his hand as easily as cutting tofu.

As he chopped, his brows twitched. He was still a little scared in his heart, because his sixth brother was not so easy to mess with.

In front of outsiders, he is not afraid of anyone, but at home, he is the seventh child, and although he has a younger sister, he is afraid of everyone!

The seven brothers dared not to offend her, nor did the old man and mother. The younger sister was the one that they dared not offend the most. The whole family was afraid of her.

Now that was a problem, he imagined that if his sixth brother knew that he had chopped his bamboo, he would probably chase him across half of the capital with a knife.

"Come...you do this...that way...cut them into pieces..." Jiang Fan continued to give orders. Outside the courtyard, many servants appeared at the gate of the courtyard after hearing the noise.

When they saw the two people cutting bamboo in the yard, they all shrank their heads.

Especially when they looked at Chu Chengxiong who was chopping bamboo, the servants showed sympathy. The Seventh Young Master must be in trouble now! He ran to the bamboo yard where the Sixth Young Master lived to chop bamboo. If he didn't die, he would be skinned alive.

"You came at the right time. Help me carry the bamboo back to Cangwu Courtyard. Also, someone can go get the carpenter's tools from your house!" Jiang Fan said to the servant at the gate of the courtyard.

He did not consider himself an outsider at all. Upon hearing this, the servants looked at Chu Chengxiong who was working hard under the command of Jiang Fan, and hurried over to help respectfully.

Everyone knows that this is the Eighth Prince, and he is not to be messed with. Didn't you see that the Seventh Young Master was completely obedient under his command? Even if outsiders heard that this was a useless prince.

But their masters treat them with respect, and they would not take them seriously unless they wanted to die.

Soon, the servants moved the cut bamboo to the Cangwu Courtyard where Jiang Fan was, and also brought the carpenter's tools.

The Chu family had ready-made masons and carpenters to repair the house, so they had all kinds of tools.

Chu Chengxiong looked at Jiang Fan in confusion, not knowing what he was doing. He stood there stupidly, doing whatever Jiang Fan told him to do.

There were many servants around who were left behind by Jiang Fan to help. When the servants saw that Jiang Fan commanded the Seventh Young Master like his grandson, they couldn't help but be amazed.

They had heard before that the Seventh Young Master was coming to beat up the Eighth Prince, but he was subdued so quickly. This Eighth Prince is really powerful.

Jiang Fan was busy making the distiller, while on the other side, Chu Xinghe was drinking tea and playing chess with his wife.

"Husband, your chess skills have declined!" Mrs. Chu smiled faintly and said to Chu Xinghe.

The woman is in her forties, but she doesn't look old at all. She looks like she is only in her thirties at most.

That face, which is 70% similar to Chu Yan'er's, is beautiful and charming. If you put her and Chu Yan'er together, others would mistakenly think they are sisters.

"Madam, you're making fun of me. My chess skills have never been better." Chu Xinghe smiled awkwardly, with a hint of flattery in his voice.

In this family, except for being a strict father in front of his sons, he is a little scum in front of his daughter and wife.

I can't afford to offend my wife, and I can't afford to offend my daughter even more.

Playing chess? What the hell was he, a warrior, doing when playing chess? It was because he had acted on his own initiative and promised his daughter to the Eighth Prince, and his wife had forced him to play in order to punish him.

During this period, Chu Xinghe was almost driven crazy by his wife. Every day when she came back, it would rain for at least an hour.

Today he tried to dodge again and again, but still failed. He was even forced to leave by his wife for almost two hours. He was about to collapse.

"Oh, in that case, in order to help my husband improve his chess skills, I will play another game with him!" Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Xinghe with a smile.

"Madam, please... spare me. I will never act on my own again, okay... I am helpless about the Eighth Prince's affairs. Now that he has arrived at your house, I can't chase him away, and I can't not chase him away! What do you want me to do?"

Chu Xinghe said with a bitter face, he knew his wife was not just punishing him. This was a punishment for him bringing Jiang Fan to the mansion without permission.

But what could he do? The Emperor of Yan had issued an order and he had to obey.

"Alas... husband, you... you... let me say nothing about you. You always act without thinking. Now that the Eighth Prince has won the favor of His Majesty, I'm afraid he will join the fight for the throne. You brought back such a hot potato. I'm afraid my Chu family is in big trouble this time."

"Now, it all depends on what Yan'er does. From now on, you must think carefully about everything. Although the Eighth Prince is indeed good, this is a fight for the throne! Do you understand..."

Mrs. Chu looked at her husband with some disappointment and didn't know what to say.

She had heard about what happened in the palace, but even so, she was not optimistic about Jiang Fan. She was angry because all this was caused by Chu Xinghe's own decision.

If she doesn't teach her husband a lesson, there's no telling what kind of disaster he will bring to General Zhenwei's Mansion.

"I understand. I will pay attention next time!" Chu Xinghe hung his head like a bullied grandson.

Just at this moment, a servant came running over, and Chu Xinghe quickly regained his dignified look, no longer the cautious grandson he had just been.

"Master, Madam..." The one who came was Chu Fu, the housekeeper of the mansion. He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Chu Fu, why are you hesitating..." Chu Xinghe frowned and said to Chu Fu with some displeasure.

Madam Chu glared at her husband, smiled faintly, and said to Chu Fu in a gentle voice: "Butler, what is it that makes you feel embarrassed to say it?"
